I'm building up a bit of a bits box of Stormcast parts and have a spare Lord Imperitant and Knight Arcanum unbuilt (from eBay wins on Dominion lots). Are there any Stormcast heroes that you could easily convert from them that are generally useful to take or good supporters? My library of bits comprises a lot of spare helmets/arms/weapons from a box of Dracothan Guard so there's hammers, glaives, crossbows and swords.

I'm refurbishing some classic daemons!Questions for the Tzeentch-knowers: 1)How do you tell who is the boss pyrocaster Flamer in a unit? All three look identical in the new plastics. I'm just going to add excessive flames to one in each unit, does that sound right? 2) How big is the Exaulted Flamer's base? And he's just a big one with extra flames and features? 3) Are there any great retro-style proxies for brimstone horrors? I have a handful of metal Epic horrors and classic Nurglings that might work, but they're not common or cheap. These aren't mine, but this is the direction I'd like to go:  (Like this guy) moths fucked around with this message at 19:23 on Aug 9, 2021 |

The Ulfenkarn book feels to me like a victim of the issues surrounding Cursed City, in that it is coming out well after that entire plot thread has rather definitively ended and Ulfenkarn has been liberated and saved from the Nadir.

Furism posted:The Vallejo Metal Color line is what you're looking for. Specifically Pale Burnt Metal in your case. They don't come in spray cans, so if you don't own an airbrush you'll need to use regular brushes. But the paint is so fantastic it brushes on perfectly. Can't recommend it enough. Never used Pale burnt metal but I can sing to the high heavens about Vallejo's Metal Colour Line. I've exclusively used a mix of silver, steel and gunmetal grey to paint up my KO and they brush on amazingly, and I just chucked em in an airbrush for my vehicles. Both approaches work amazingly well.

Gunmetal is also great for things like Knight frames and it probably a bit more analogous to leadbelcher but darker from the outset. Just means it's faster to drybrush etc.

Gunmetal is also great for things like Knight frames and it probably a bit more analogous to leadbelcher but darker from the outset. Just means it's faster to drybrush etc. Will do! Also my Barak Thryng list I posted earlier in the thread saw me come last in my local tournament  but I did get a limited edition DoK dice set and some store credit for being the best sport so I actually ended up with as much valuve as the 2nd and 3rd place winners! Lesson learned to either be the best or suck immensely! No room for a mediocre middle of the road result!In all seriousness though, it was my first tournament and I had a lot of fun. I did make some extremely critical mistakes which saw my Ironclad get shot down very early on in all three games. I also setup my Ironclad on the long edge of terrain/edge of the map a couple times which meant that once it got shot down, even though lots of the garrisoned troops survived, they all died because I couldn't set them up 3" from the Ironclad and 3" from the enemies. I learned a lot though. Still very daunting trying to remember all the rules of 3.0 and my own faction rules and then trying to stay on top of the game itself. I've bookmarked places in my Battletome and I'm currently writing out a strategy document to keep on a double sided A5 laminated shee, but it's still so easy to lose track of stuff. How do people do it? Just play a whole ton until it becomes muscle memory? Any tips?

Talas posted:AoS Reminders is a must for me, I doubt I could play without it and it's already updated with 3.0 rules. You can see how it works in this video: I did have a printout of my AoS reminders for my list, but under the pressure of a tournament setting, I didn't want to continually leaf through it when we had two hours per game (which both veteran and newbies agreed is too short to play an entire game of AoS.)

From the blurb there is material for playing during multiple periods of the Cities timeline. I imagine three that would make the most sense would be, before Radukar openly took over, during Radukar's reign, and after Radukar was defeated and ran away.

It's coming late because they're working on other Soulbound books like Champions of Death and Destruction. As what for happened with Cursed City, we'll probably never really know in the end. And everyone knows Bigfoot moved to Canada.

Furism posted:Very true. For my SCE I apply a thinned down contrast paint (could use ink with contrast medium) to dull it more and it works perfectly. VMA Gunmetal maps exactly to Leadbelcher. I use it interchangeably with the spray. It's interesting that you describe VMC (metal colour presumably?) Steel as being darker than Leadbelcher because VMA Steel is a mid-range silver and is a lovely colour for all sorts of metals.

Man, those dragons will absolutely gently caress up horde armies. Considering they look to be on Archaon-sized pie plates, you can get *a lot* of models within 3" of them. And all those attacks being 3/3/-2/2 is pretty nuts.

Z the IVth posted:VMA Gunmetal maps exactly to Leadbelcher. I use it interchangeably with the spray. Yea it's a bit strange but metal colour steel is an incredibly dark paint, one of the darkest in the whole range. Lovely metal though, has a fantastic amount of depth to it.

Z the IVth posted:VMA Gunmetal maps exactly to Leadbelcher. I use it interchangeably with the spray. Yes Metal Colour. It felt darker than Leadbelcher to me but it's entirely possible I'm wrong. My default go-to is Pale Burn Metal + some kind of dark wash/contrast for "steel-looking armor", but again it might be a matter of taste at this point. I use Steel for the darker recesses.

Is there any way to unbend a base? One of the 60? mm bases is bent in half pretty decently that came with Dominion (and an arm to something fell out)

Wow - how the heck did that happen!? If you got it from GW direct, just contact them and get a replacement. If not, you're kind of out of luck and they're going to send you to whoever you bought it from. It's plastic, not resin, so it's not just a matter of getting it in hot water. If you have access to a heat gun you may want to try that, just don't go crazy and melt the plastic. Do a little at a time, and see if you can very slowly bend it back into shape. If you move too quickly, you're going to wind up breaking it at that flex point. Good luck.

I've now realised I can throw extra stuff into AoS reminders like stuff about priority rolling and command points (just straight up how they work) so it's actually going to be much more useful. Plus my next few games won't be under a rushed high pressure tournament environment so here's hoping!

Yeah I don't really know what to say, that was legit out of the box. The bottom box is warped too, as you can see. The box that it came in was fine. The 65mm and 90mm? Wasn't packaged in the bag of bases, so it slipped around and the corner got dropped before the game store got it.

Giving the Hammers an identity that isn’t just Generic Stormcast is good by me. Dragon battleline also good. I hate the Knights Excelsior fluff wise, but they look good mechanically, too. Astral Templars still a hard counter pick for monsters but that’s actually valuable now.
